Va., and the | | New Orleans Navy Yard, which has been inoperative since 1921. That’s good news | to the people of South Charleston and New Orleans, but is pretty disheartening read- | ing for the citizens of Key West who have | been hoping and praying for the reopening | of the Key West Naval Station. Many had expected ment here as result of the decision of Presi- ; dent Roosevelt to augment the Atlantic | naval defenses for the purpose of prevent- ing any invasion of this hemisphere by the | dictator-driven nations of Europe. Key | West Naval Station is stragetically located points in any plan devised for protection some develop- | and should be regarded as one of the key | of the Panama Canal Zone, the West In- | | dies, Central and South America. | The local navy yard has been kept in | first-class condition since it was placed on | the inactive list several years ago. During } the last year or so navy and WPA ap- propriations approximating $100,000 have | been allotted to the naval station here for | general repairs to buildings, plant, docks and, equipment. There are unexcelled | facilities for certain types of naval vessels | overnight. | Local interests | ways and means of raising funds for spon- ; Sorship of WPA projects to prevent a sub- | stantial layoff of relief workers in the near | future would do well to devote. some at- tention to an effort to bring about reopen- ing of the Key West Naval Station. The Florida delegation in Congress, particular- | ly U. S, Senators Claude Pepper and C. O. | Andrews, should be petitioned at once te urge a Presidential order restoring the local navy yard to the active list. If that can be brought about and it is not beyond;'the.. bounds of possibility, | because Key. West certainly is more stragetically' located than New Orleans, | the need for sponsorship of WPA projects | would be.-stibstantially reduced. Some 800 men and had an annual civilian pay- Poll of sdv@ralthindreds of thousands of dollars, besides a large navy personnel. That much money annually spread throughout the city would greatly reduce WPA project sponsorship would be a rel- atively small matter. The city and the county would soon build up reserves en- abling them to sponsor needed projects without calling upon our citizens for direct contributions. apparel, take a look through the old family | album | .

What's the matter “Red"’, won't they take your advice? Every public-spirited citizen of Key West should begin writing and wiring our senators and congressmen to take up the | ight for reopening of the Key West Naval Station. PWA MONEY SPURNED Many communities are beginning to balk at new bond issues to finance projects for which PWA grants amounting to 45 per cent of the cost are available. The fact | is that taxpayers are coming to realize that through the lure of Federal grants they have been voting local bond issues which will impose unbearable burdens in the years to come. An important case in point was that of Birmingham, where it was proposed to vote an additional $6,0000,000 of bonds for a building program to cost about $11,000,- 000 of which the PWA was expected to put up approximately $5,000,000. Among the projects proposed were a city hall, fire station, hospital, libaries, parks and community houses, and school buildings. The projects were voted on sep- arately at a recent special election and every one was decisively rejected, most of them by a vote exceeding two to one. The PWA system of grants hase en- couraged states, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions to plunge deeper and deeper into debt, so that in many ultimate bankruptcy inevitable. mingham voters evidently desire to such a situation. cases Bir- avoid This gem appeared in a leading New York daily: “One night Davy took the wildcat to bed with him.
